Same thing happened to me, I used to have a subscription and they cancelled it stating that they could not deliver to a area where there games keep coming up missing. Very disappointing because it costs me $8 per game to rent at Blockbuster...

Its happened to me here in the UK too, with a smiliar service called Lovefilm.

Only 2 have gone missing, but its annoying as you need to fill in a claim form otherwise you get charged for it.

what kind of packadging do they deliver these in? is it like netflix where it says the darn name on the envelope? because that's just asking for theft... send the thing out in a plain white mailer... with return addresses that dont give away who it is...

yeah I really don't know why they haven't changed that yet, that is just asking for trouble.

We have had one Netflix go missing on us, ironically it was the movie Premonition. The odd thing was, we reported it as missing, got the replacement DVD two days later and lo and behold the missing was was returned. Someone intercepted it and watched it. Made us nervous about our mail after that.

I have a feeling that a lot of goodies go missing all over the country as a result of sticky fingered employees of delivery services.

The postal company pays them back for losses/theft etc, and over here they use the envelope for advertising.
